This is the correct answer. Of all the engineering fields, SWE is by far the one with highest salary compared to how difficult it is. SWE lucked out on the fact that we have been g…

I have news for you. All humans do is also filling gaps with combinations of known facts and results - in new ways. "Everything is a Remix" is a good watch on youtube that explains…

They reward expertise but not for long. Let's not kid ourselves into coping for a little longer.

That's a nice metaphor for your mother, i like it. I would just touch on one small part, which is that it has more than our judgement though. It has access to laws of physics, to f…

It's correct but defenders also choose where that happens. 100% of the time on the locations and conditions that the defenders choose / allow. As a defender i need to be right 100%…

And what is the root cause of your magnesium deficiency? How come you're not getting enough of it from food?

But how come you have magnesium deficiency in the first place, what are you not eating? People who need magnesium supplements still absorb magnesium, so the problem isn't absorptio…

I trust Grok as much as any other AI. What exactly is the history i should be concerned about?

That perspective is misleading. By that logic someone in 1960 would have to pay $100k to have a vacuum computer that is equivalent to a random calculator today. So then any price b…

"(...) it's going to effectively be a new human era..." We never like it when we realize the universe doesn't circle around us. At first we got mad to discover the Earth wasn't the…

Imagine a smart monkey talking to other smart monkeys trying to figure out how humans would ever be able to escape the (simple) prison they built for them. The humans would find a …

The post of this man (Paul) motivated me, although not for the reasons I assume he intended. If someone like this guy can achieve success, then really anyone can. His logic is trul…

80%+ of arguments against AI on HN are emotion-driven. Most people on HN are SWE, and their job is a prime candidate to be replaced by AI. It also hurts the ego (hence the denial +…

And the goalposts will keep getting moved all the way to the singularity. And then those people will/would say "Oops. I was wrong."

“They worried about the data,” Dr. Meren said, tapping the silent console. “What happens when there is nothing left to feed it?” At first, the machine depended on us. It consumed b…

Just another quote to balance that one, since we can make quotes for anything and use them whenever it fits our narrative: "Garbage in, garbage out."

From looking at all of them, it actually seems to be the best one, followed by Deepseek 3.1. And something went wrong with GPT-5's.

You make it sound like Tesla was a failure and he's only interested in capitalistic success, where if you've been following him for years you'd know this has been his plan all alon…

Well done for convincing people of something that isn't true, in other words, well done for lying? Is this what is being cheered on? Seriously.
